Answer:
2.8 atm.
Explanation:
From the question given above, we obtained the following data:
Initial volume (V1) = 6.2 mL
Initial pressure (P1) = 1.4 atm
Final volume (V2) = 3.1 mL
Final pressure (P2) =?
The final pressure of the gas cylinder can be obtained by using the Boyle's law equation as shown below:
P1V1 = P2V2
1.4 × 6.2 = P2 × 3.1
8.68 = P2 × 3.1
Divide both side by 3.1
P2 = 8.68/3.1
P2 = 2.8 atm
Therefore, the final pressure of the gas cylinder is 2.8 atm
